Testo Alabama Wild Man - - Jerry Reed

Testo della canzone Alabama Wild Man - (Jerry Reed), tratta dall'album The Essential Jerry Reed

Well my daddy was a hard-shelled Alabama preacher

My mama was a dedicated Sunday school teacher

My brother went to college, got a PhD

Daddy said the only dud in the family was me

He said, "Boy, you ain't never gonna amount to a thing

You sit around with that silly-looking guitar and sing

You hang around them juke joints most of your time

Making music like some wild man done lost his mind

Going ooh, hook it

Now what's that supposed to mean?

And sock it to me

You're just a wild man, boy"

Well one day daddy told me, "Boy, I've had enough

You pack up that guitar, you just pack up your stuff"

So I left with my guitar and organized me a band

Called myself the Alabama Wild Man

Well I worked in every joint from New York to the Gulf

Singing songs for pennies, never making enough

Many nights I lived on coffee and cold sardines

Soda crackers and pork and beans

But friends, I finally went to Music City USA

Said, "I'm the Alabama Wild Man, folks, I'm here to stay"

Took my guitar and showed what I was talking about

So we made a little record and we put it out

With me going ooh, hook it, or hook it

Ooh, hook it again

Ooh, sock it to that guitar

Well now I'm driving Cadillacs a city block long

And the Alabama Wild Man can do no wrong

'Cause I'm selling them records and I'm working them shows

And people love me everywhere I go

But friends, a funny thing happened 'bout a week or so back

I worked a show in my hometown and the place was packed

And guess who was sitting out on a front row seat

Was my daddy grinning up at me and he said, "Yeah

Sock it to your daddy, Wild Man

Hook it, boy, hook it

Play that guitar, son, show 'em

Yeah, that's my boy all right

Taught him everything he knows

Bought him his first guitar

Keep them checks coming in, boy

We gonna pave the drive next week

Yeah, sock it to your daddy, Wild Man"
